Yesterday was International Yoga Day.
I love yoga and have been practising on and off since I was about 18.
Finding a good yoga teacher though is a bit like playing roulette. Over the years as I have belonged to various gyms and have moved around the country for work, I've encounted some great teachers and some truly awful.
I was on tour many years ago and me and a couple of members of the cast went to a class at the local gym. The teacher was, if I'm being generous, not good. She was so "not good" that we got the giggles and found it very difficult to take her seriously. I did feel bad for her, but at the same time, she was clearly out of her depth when the whole class knew more about her subject that she did. Maybe she was filling in, I don't know, but it wasn't good.
I always feel sad for people when they have been to a yoga class and have clearly not had a good teacher because they haven't experienced that spark, that hook that can give them the life long love of yoga. So if that's you, try another teacher or another style (there are many) and find one that fits. I truly believe that it is beneficial for body and mind.
🙏Namaste🙏
